62 percent of GIM manufacturing investment commitments converted to project applications: MB Patil
Speaking at an exclusive session organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in the presence of Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, MB Patil attributed this impressive conversion as a result of sustained post-MoU engagement with investors, ensuring that intent translates into tangible action.
'Companies such as Krones, Safran, TASL, and many others have already filed formal applications with the state, with several having already commenced groundwork. Additionally, with both IndiGo and Air India now operating MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) facilities in Karnataka, alongside TASL's upcoming MRO unit and HAL's existing operations, Karnataka has truly earned its place as the 'MRO Capital of Asia',' Patil noted.
Patil further stated that out of the total Rs 10.27 lakh crore worth of investment commitments received during the GIM, proposals valued at Rs 4.34 lakh crore or about 42 per cent, have already materialised into project applications.
He positioned Karnataka as a reliable partner in the evolving global economic landscape. He said, 'As the world adopts the China+1 strategy and responds to uncertainties caused by global conflicts, Karnataka has emerged as a dependable and natural partner. We are building not just industrial parks, but self-contained ecosystems that are future-ready and innovation-driven.'
The new State Industrial Policy, launched during the GIM, has been widely appreciated for its progressive and inclusive framework. The policy places a strong emphasis on sustainability by integrating decarbonisation goals, green regulatory frameworks, and dedicated promotion of green industrial practices.
It also offers targeted additional incentives for Zone 1 and Zone 2 districts, supporting balanced regional development. (ANI)

Equity inflows trend: FPIs invest Rs 14,590 crore in June equities, early July sees Rs 1,421 crore pullout; flows to stay volatile on global cues
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) infused Rs 14,590 crore into Indian equities in June 2025, marking the third consecutive month of net inflows, supported by improved global liquidity, easing geopolitical tensions, and a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India. However, the trend reversed in early July, with FPIs pulling out Rs 1,421 crore in the first week of the month, data from depositories showed, PTI reported. Analysts expect FPI flows to remain volatile in the near term, given the uncertainty around US economic data and tariff deadlines. "FPI flows are expected to remain choppy on account of tariff deadline developments and US data volatility," said Vaqarjaved Khan, Senior Fundamental Analyst at Angel One, quoted PTI. According to V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, investor sentiment will now hinge on corporate earnings. "If the results indicate earnings recovery, that will be positive. Disappointment on these factors can impact the market and, thereby, flows," he said. Depository data shows FPIs invested a net Rs 14,590 crore in equities in June, following Rs 19,860 crore in May and Rs 4,223 crore in April. Before this, they were net sellers for three straight months, pulling out Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February, and a massive Rs 78,027 crore in January. This brings the total net FPI outflow in 2025 so far to Rs 79,322 crore. "FPIs exhibited a cautious yet improving stance in June 2025, beginning the month with notable outflows from the equity markets driven by elevated US bond yields, trade tensions, overvalued Indian stocks, and deteriorating geopolitical environment," said Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director – Manager Research at Morningstar Investment. He added that sentiment improved in the latter half of June as global liquidity conditions stabilised, geopolitical risks eased, the RBI implemented a rate cut, the rupee strengthened, and crude oil prices moderated. Sectorally, FPIs were net buyers in financials, autos and auto components, and oil and gas, while they exited capital goods and power stocks during June. Meanwhile, in the debt market, FPIs pulled out Rs 6,121 crore from the general limit and another Rs 6,366 crore from the voluntary retention route during the month.
